Xbox console companion app for mac

Get ready

I'm not sure if the app will even find the Xbox since the Xbox can only connect to an 811 b/g network and your typical Mac is typically using the A/N band. It's not going to appear on the Mac network that Parallels will treat like a hard-wired connection.

You’ll need the following to use Remote Play:

  • Mac

    OSmacOS High Sierra
    macOS Mojave
    macOS Catalina
    macOS Big Sur
    Storage space40 MB or more
    RAM2 GB or more
  • PS4 console
    Always update your PS4 console to the latest version of the system software.
  • An account for PlayStation™Network
    Use the same account that you use for your PS4 console. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one first.
  • High-speed internet connection
    As a standard, we recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 5 Mbps. For best performance, we recommend a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps.
  • DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller
  • You can also use your wireless controller for your PS5 console. You can use Bluetooth® to connect your controller to a Mac running macOS Big Sur (11.3) or later. If you can’t connect using Bluetooth®, use a USB cable. For details on Bluetooth® pairing, see “Using a wireless controller”.
  • To use voice chat, you’ll need a microphone, such as the built-in microphone on your Mac.

  • From the function screen, go to [Settings] > [Account Management] > [Activate as Your Primary PS4], and then select [Activate]. You can enable this setting on only one PS4 console for each account. Find out more about activating your PS4 console as your primary console in the PS4 User’s Guide.
  • To start Remote Play while your PS4 console is in rest mode, select [Settings] > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Features Available in Rest Mode]. Then select the checkboxes for [Stay Connected to the Internet] and [Enable Turning on PS4 from Network].

Start Remote Play

You’ll take the following steps each time you connect to your PS4 console from your Mac.

The app searches for the PS4 console that you set up in Set up your PS4 console, and then connects. After it connects, the screen of your PS4 console displays on your Mac and you can start using Remote Play.
From the second time onwards, you’ll be able to select the console that you connected to previously.
  • Before trying to connect remotely from outside your home, check that your device connects properly while you are near your PS4 console.
  • If the app can’t find the device that you’d like to connect, or if you can’t use Remote Play, see “When Remote Play is not available”.

Remote Play controls

Besides using your controller, you can also control your PS4 console with the control panel.
During Remote Play, if you move the mouse cursor of your Mac over the screen that you’re using for Remote Play, the control panel displays:

2.
Select [OK].
Remote Play quits and the screen returns to its original state before your Mac was connected to your PS4 console.

To uninstall [PS Remote Play], drag [PS Remote Play] from your Applications folder and into the trash. Then, go to Finder and select [Empty trash]. Folder and command names might vary depending on your OS version.

This tutorial shows how to create and run a .NET Core console application using Visual Studio for Mac.

Running a.NET Core Console Application on Mac or Windows. Ask Question Asked 4 years, 2 months ago. Active 1 year ago. Viewed 14k times 14. I've created a.NET Core console application. I want to build the app so that I can execute it on Windows or MacOS without dotnet core being installed on the machine. For windows an exe.

Note

Your feedback is highly valued. There are two ways you can provide feedback to the development team on Visual Studio for Mac:

  • In Visual Studio for Mac, select Help > Report a Problem from the menu or Report a Problem from the Welcome screen, which will open a window for filing a bug report. You can track your feedback in the Developer Community portal.
  • To make a suggestion, select Help > Provide a Suggestion from the menu or Provide a Suggestion from the Welcome screen, which will take you to the Visual Studio for Mac Developer Community webpage.

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio for Mac version 8.6 or later. Select the option to install .NET Core. Installing Xamarin is optional for .NET Core development. For more information, see the following resources:

    • Tutorial: Install Visual Studio for Mac.
    • Supported macOS versions.
    • .NET Core versions supported by Visual Studio for Mac.

Create the app

Create a .NET Core console app project named 'HelloWorld'.

  1. Start Visual Studio for Mac.

  2. Select New in the start window.

  3. In the New Project dialog, select App under the Web and Console node. Select the Console Application template, and select Next.

  4. In the Target Framework drop-down of the Configure your new Console Application dialog, select .NET Core 3.1, and select Next.

  5. Type 'HelloWorld' for the Project Name, and select Create.

Xbox Application For Mac

The template creates a simple 'Hello World' application. It calls the Console.WriteLine(String) method to display 'Hello World!' in the terminal window.

The template code defines a class, Program, with a single method, Main, that takes a String array as an argument:

Main is the application entry point, the method that's called automatically by the runtime when it launches the application. Any command-line arguments supplied when the application is launched are available in the args array.

Console Application Vs Windows Application

Run the app

  1. Press ⌥⌘↵ (option+command+enter) to run the app without debugging.

  2. Close the Terminal window.

Enhance the app

Enhance the application to prompt the user for their name and display it along with the date and time.

  1. In Program.cs, replace the contents of the Main method, which is the line that calls Console.WriteLine, with the following code:

    This code displays a prompt in the console window and waits until the user enters a string followed by the enter key. It stores this string in a variable named name. It also retrieves the value of the DateTime.Now property, which contains the current local time, and assigns it to a variable named date. And it displays these values in the console window. Finally, it displays a prompt in the console window and calls the Console.ReadKey(Boolean) method to wait for user input.

    The n represents a newline character.

    The dollar sign ($) in front of a string lets you put expressions such as variable names in curly braces in the string. The expression value is inserted into the string in place of the expression. This syntax is referred to as interpolated strings.

  2. Wavepad for mac. Press ⌥⌘↵ (option+command+enter) to run the app.

  3. Respond to the prompt by entering a name and pressing enter.

  4. Close the terminal.
